I don't *advocate* many things, but it is convenient that many phones now include: a smartcard reader, a smartcard, a gprs internet connection, a bluetooth serial port, and a keypad. Also, many people carry their phones with them at all times.

I have done a bit of work on the problem of using a bluetooth phone as a smartcard reader with pin pad for completing 3rd-party internet payments. I think the subject holds a lot of promise, and someday could free us from the tyranny of credit card number theft.
